Ethics

What are the ethics of your life? How do the people you interact with on a daily basis contribute to your understanding of how you should behave? Think of your parents/teachers/adults, but also of your friends and peers.

My mom, my grandma, my teachers, my friends and strangers constantly tell me to treat others how you want to be treated. I have taken this piece of information and kept it with me wherever I go. It impacts me because when I meet people or go to work or just in school, I always think to myself how can I be positive and be respectful in the highest ways even though people aren’t doing the same. I think my parents have taught me a lot of ethics. I believe that everything they do and how they react has kept me growing up in a good way. I tend to pick out the little things my mom does and how professional she is around people and I believe I have every bit of that in myself. I may be shy, but I am very good with people. The lessons from when I was little to growing up I have finally realized what they mean and how to take in those lessons. You may not believe it, but I have been taught what is wrong and what is right and I choose every direction I go in when I know if its either bad or good. I also believe that I get my ethics from my brother. When I was little I would never be able to talk for myself because he was so outgoing and he always talked for me around other people. Now, he has still taken that guidance and showed me the way to what’s important to myself and also to what I believe in. Throughout the years, teachers have also taught me some ethics and have guided me along these high school years. My mentor has been with me every step of the way and he has shown me to stand up for myself and believe in what I want to believe instead of having people put me down. He has taught me to create a mind of my own and even when things are going downhill, to think of the best. I also think that friends have a big part in this. I am around them everyday and what they do I see how it’s either wrong or right and I have the ability to do what I want. I think that having the friends I have make me have a mind to myself and decide what I want to do. They have shown me that its alright to do what you think is right.
